  1. “Yesterday I learned that Speaker Johnson is talking to the moderate Republicans in our conference trying to get their support for a 6 month CR to be passed before the upcoming Sept 30th government funding deadline.

    But Speaker Johnson is NOT talking to us conservatives because we demand that he actually negotiate with Schumer to include our agenda items like the SAVE Act (election integrity bill) instead of just clean passing another Continuing Resolution of the Democrat’s budget, which just keeps happening.

    Speaker Johnson wants to get enough moderate Republicans on board with him and all the Democrats so he doesn’t need the House Conservatives votes so he can pass another Democrat agenda laden CR.

    Johnson doesn’t want to rock the boat before Nov 5th, in other words he doesn’t want to use the power he possesses as the Republican elected Speaker of the House to fight for anything.

    Johnson says we will pass our agenda next Congress after Trump wins BUT the November election is not guaranteed and there may not be a next time, there is only THIS TIME for sure.

    Voters across the country gave Republicans the House majority because they were fed up with Democrats policies.Voters care about border security, inflation (stop out of control Gov spending), and WANT SAFE AND SECURE ELECTIONS.

    It is our job to fight for these things as well as defend the God given rights of the people.

    We are Representatives of the PEOPLE.

    We are not sent to Congress to go along and get along and manipulate our way into decades of power that only serve ourselves and not the people.

    Sept 30th government funding deadline is our last chance this Congress to get anything of substance done and the House has the power of the purse.

    We are over $35 trillion in debt and rapidly falling apart because men in the halls of Congress didn’t want to rock the boat, said we will do it next time, or never could muster the intestinal fortitude to actually fix anything.”

    “Musk praised Trump for his response to an assassination attempt, noting that instead of retreating, Trump continued to fight with a defiant spirit.

    “Your actions after that assassination attempt were inspiring,” Musk told Trump, who reflected on how that day deepened his belief in God. Trump credited a famous immigration chart for turning his head and ultimately saving his life.”

  8. AJ  (re: the U.K. Riot situation)

    It is non-Muslims who are doing the rioting.

    ~ “The following evening, more than a thousand people attended a vigil for the victims in Southport. Later on, violence broke out near a local mosque. People threw bricks, bottles and other missiles at the mosque and police, a police van was set alight and 27 officers were taken to hospital.

    The disorder was widely condemned. Local MP Patrick Hurley said “thugs” had travelled to the town to use the deaths of three children “for their own political purposes”, while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer denounced the “marauding mobs on the streets of Southport”.

    How did the violence spread?

    There had been discussion of the rally on regional anti-immigration channels on the Telegram messaging app. Police said the violence was believed to have involved supporters of the now disbanded far-right group the English Defence League (EDL).

    The day after the Southport riot, violent protests in London, Hartlepool and Manchester broke out, which police linked to Southport. More took place throughout the week – with many targeting mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.” ~

    Re: this quote in one of your comments: “What sparked the current violence was the government failing to accurately identify the individual guilty of stabbing children.”

    In Britain, defendants’ names are not given to the media. They made an exception in this case after the rumors spread and rioting began.

  11. I went to BBC this morning to see their take on the interview. They opened with Trump had a lot of lies, misleading info, etc. then they fact checked but their factchecking, beneath their talk, seemed to corroborate what he said. I only read a few before saying enough.

  15. One of the he problems with mass migrations is there is little time for either the immigrant or the receiving population to accustom themselves to each others very divergent cultures. Resources are always strained. And often neither wanted the merge to to happen. This is especially true if the immigration problem in Europe and UK,
